UTeachEngineering: Training Secondary Teachers to Deliver Design-Based Engineering Instruction
The University of Texas at Austin's Cockrell School of Engineering is partnering with the successful UTeach Natural Sciences program and the Austin Independent School District to develop and deliver UTeachEngineering, an innovative, design- and challenge-based curriculum for preparing secondary teachers of engineering. To meet the growing need for engineering teachers in Texas, and to serve as a model in engineering education across the nation, UTeachEngineering has the following four professional development pathways to teacher preparedness, two for in-service teachers and two for pre-service teachers:- UTeach Master of Arts in Science and Engineering Education (MASEE);
- Engineering Summer Institutes for Teachers (ESIT);
- Engineering Certification Track for Physics Majors; and
- Teacher Preparation Track for Engineering Majors.
